Share Proton Docs link for collaboration without requiring Proton account
The new Proton Docs Feature just came out.
I wanted to use it, but i can't share the document so, that friends can collaborate. They don't all have a proton account.
That's why the sharing feature with the E-Mails doesn’t help a lot.
Normally you can just create a link to each document, so that others can edit it.
But at the moment this isn’t possible.
It’s a quite standard feature I personally would expect from a drive with documents.
One Option i tried is creating a sharable link in Proton Drive with a folder. In that Folder i got the Document. I can share the folder, but when my friends click on the folder link they can’t open the Document in it.
https://proton.me/support/drive-shareable-link
I get this error message: "Public sharing of documents is not yet supported. Please asks the owner to directly invite you to dthe document."
Without this feature the whole document drive thing doesn’t has a lot of use for me personally.
Thanks for your constant work.

I'm trying to provide a location for my healthcare provider to upload data to but I can only share a view link so this is impossible... I guess I'll continue to use Google Drive instead.

It's not an issue, the feature just simply doesn't exist.

If I want to move from googledocs, I need to be able to set up link sharing, basically anyone to edit a doc via a special link - I know that's not exactly a 'privacy' concern, but it could still dodge the screen scraping bots.
